G-WULF repainted

Good stuff:)

JagerMarty, I am sorry if you think that the snide comment was aimed at you, it wasn,t aimed at anyone in particular, I was trying to forwarn people who I expected to try to have a go. Constructive comments are always welcome, and in fact the markings have been made in sticker form so they can be upgraded or replaced

Thanks for the feedback. Believe it or not the chevron is the right scale for the aircraft and the cross, when viewed from the side, it looks better. The white band around the fuselage still has to have a black edge either side of it which will appear to narrow it. The paint was supplied gloss, when it was ordered matt, but, as its going to be a working everyday aeroplane it will be easier to keep smart. But at least I have got out there and done something than be a wannabe who just talks about it. No offence meant, I do appreciate constructive critism, but not snide remarks from some who never do anything but talk a lot.

My comment wasn’t meant to be snide, I’ll keep an eye out for pics and have another look at your fuselage markings.
best wishes with your Würger:)

I thought it looked familier. I’m glad it’s still about.

This was the one Rod used to fly when it was in the colours depicted in the Jeremy Flack book flying alongside G-FIRE

I’m sure this was the Aircraft Rod Dean used to fly at airshows in 1986/7. He came up to Cranfield in it to fly the Venom owned by Sandy Topen.

The real thing:

There’s a pic of G-WULF holding formation with Spitfire G-FIRE in one of Jeremy Flack’s books – interesting to know how much throttle was being used by the latter!

I first saw WULF in 1982 at Malling

Imagine what would have happened if the FW190 actually had been that size! Interesting comparing it to the Bearcat in that pic above…:D

I love it! Have the scale flying qualities been compared to that of the full size (Flug Werk) variant yet?

I wish I could have a museum full of aircraft that size – imagine how many ‘warbirds’ you could fit into a T2 hangar! 😀

Nice paint job.

There is only one problem – I want one……:dev2:

Here are some photo’s taken by my father at said airfield sometime in the 80’s at one of the Great Warbird Air Displays. I know, they’re not fantastic, but it may jog a few memories for us.

Would anyone care to hesitate a guess at the year? I have others from the same show if it would help (for another thread maybe)

Yes it was the one at West Malling, It was originally built by Mike Searle, and jointly owned by some forum members

Please let’s not have this thread start into a flame war.
I think it’s great that an owner/operator of such an aircraft has taken the time to share their hard work with us. I’ve always believed it entirely the owners right as to how they finish their aircraft. Be it to our taste or otherwise. Constructive critiscm should always be welcomed and appreciation given where due.
Then there’ll be peace on earth for all men (and women) and we can fly happily ever after!

Sorry, i’ve seen too many topics like this descend into the depths of ridiculous discussion. I’m not pointing fingers at any one, it’s just I have x-ray specs and can see where it’ll go!

On topic now…

I think it looks fantastic Wulf190a, is your aircraft the one we used to see display at West Malling many years ago?

I hate to get into another debate about the accuracy of aircraft markings, since it is of course entirely up to the owner how his/her aircraft is painted. Nevertheless, since the topic has been raised in this case, I have to agree that while the overall effect is very nice, the detail, in my view, does let it down. Specifically, the chevron and the rear fuselage band are dimensionally wrong; strange given how many accurate references are out there.

PLEASE don’t misunderstand me, I have huge respect from anyone who owns and/or operates aircraft, but it is a shame that so much effort falls at the final hurdle.

No, I think that would have been Barry Conway’s example.

Not really up on the finer details of WW2 German markings but to my untrained eye it looks rather nice.

Is this the example I would have seen at Kemble a year or so ago in an overall white scheme?

Was commenting on the fuselage markings really.
The colours look great, but the chevron and cross on the fusealge don’t look right at all. Just my opinion from modelling more 190s than I care to admit to.
The Hahn on the cowl looks great

They aint great, sorry

Sorry if you dont like them, I researched a lot, had the colours mixed, and the markings are, as much as they can be, accurate. Any info you can give me would be appreciated

The markings are for Assi Hahn based at Beaumont le Roger France. Hahn is german for cockeral and his logo was eventually taken up by the squadron as their emblem
